Doclisboa seeks to imagine reality through new cinematic forms of perception, reflection and action, placing filmmaking into dialogue with its history to question the present of cinema. Doclisboa is interested in films that are rigorous about their conceptual and formal implications; films that experiment with cinema’s artistic and political possibilities and refuse to be categorized; films that engage with and mirror the complexity of the world. Doclisboa offers a ground where cinema and the contemporary are investigated as acts of being together in, and with, time.

Cabra Marcado para morrer

Eduardo Coutinho

1984 • Brazil • 119’

“The film is the result of a search for oneself over the course of twenty years of political and material impossibilities, and making use of TV coverage, direct cinema, traditional documentary and editing, without hiding the cinematic-style adventure.” A film on the “crumbling of a rural family under intense police pressure.” Walter Lima Jr.
